Records of the Weakest Emperor

Witnessing Calvin's transformation, the woman was dumbstruck.

She used her ultimate ability to transform into the most memorable person in Calvin's mind.

She used that person to create a trap for Calvin to walk into. Everything was going according to plan. He was under her full control, but she couldn't understand why, when Calvin saw the most memorable woman in his memory, why did he become angry?

How did her power break so easily in front of Calvin?

Did she do something wrong?

Calvin took a step backward as he fell on his knees.

This was the first time that he had come so close to death ever since that grand chase of the world against him back in the previous timeline. He didn't expect that another rare monster like this woman existed in the Village of Tulog.

Just what was wrong with this village?

A monster whose rarity made it so that they only appear once out of a thousand Specters.

Why would a monster like her be here?

Was this the secret power of the Goddess of Pestilence and Famine? To be able to create rare monsters on a whim?

Calvin stared seriously at the woman.

He had now identified what kind of a monster she was.

A Daylight Bride!

The Bestiary classified the Daylight Bride as a whole new Specter when compared to other Specters due to the fact that they died before or after their wedding.

What's more, a woman's expectations would always be the greatest when there was an upcoming wedding, so their Yin would also be at its peak.

If she died in such a state and her death was rather gruesome at that.

She would be unable to accept her death and as a result. Her resentment and grievance would transform her into this rare Daylight Bride.

As for why this particular Specter was named as such.

It was because of the fact that Daylight Brides haunted their enemies in the middle of the day.

It was a common misconception that Specters can only roam on the mortal plane at night. Yes, that might be true to a certain degree.

But the restrictions around Specters that had enough ability to roam the mortal plane during the day despite not being a Daylight Bride didn't exist for the Daylight Bride.

In short, a Daylight Bride's roaming ability wasn't restricted during broad daylight.

However...

They would enter a weakened state at night.

A lot of theories were born as to why the Daylight Bride possessed such a strange attribute.

But none of those theories were proven due to the fact that Daylight Brides were just too rare. Furthermore, it was incredibly hard to capture them since they had the ability to enter the minds of anyone and damage them from within.

Calvin thought that what she had done earlier must've been her ultimate ability.

Not only she was powerful, but her voice also carried her own memory so that she could enter a person's mind without them noticing her entry. This was an ability that not everyone could guard against. To be honest, Calvin felt incredibly lucky that the woman decided to pretend to be the most memorable woman in her heart.

If not, then Calvin didn't know what would've happened.

After all, only she—Herscher was someone that Calvin could never forget.

Furthermore, she was a person that belonged to that place. No one could possibly try to pretend that they were 'Her' in front of Calvin.

Calvin stared angrily at the woman. When he escaped her control, she had become injured. Her sobbing stopped and a part of her memory was left in Calvin's mind for she had retreated earlier in a hurry. In an instant, she had gained a new understanding of this Daylight Bride that had the potential to become even stronger than the Mortician due to her rarity.

She was the daughter of one of the villagers and she dreamt of exploring the world outside of the village one day. She fell in love with the young man at first sight due to the intricate stories that he told everyone about the outside world.

However, on the day of her wedding.

She had curiously opened the young man's closet and she stumbled upon the dismembered remains of the young man's previous wives!

She wanted to escape.

She wanted to run away.

But she truly loved the young man so much that she didn't believe what she had just seen in the closet. Later, when the young man arrived in the bed chambers. He carried her onto the bed so they could consummate their marriage. In the midst of their glee, the young woman had blurted out what she had seen in the closet as she asked him.

"I must've seen wrongly, right? I apologize... I've always been in a daze since I received the news that you were taking me as your new wife."

She gave a sweet smile but what she received in return was a murderous one.

The true identity of the handsome young man was a deformed monster surrounded by locusts and flies. In the end, she was devoured and not even a scream came out of his throat and her family also died under mysterious circumstances.

Of course, as a spirit. She believed that her family's death was the young man's doing.

Her resentment grew larger and larger until she eventually became a Daylight Bride.

Unfortunately, when she was about to take the young man's head.

She found out that she would be forever unable to take her revenge.

It was because she drank the water tainted by his curse.

She was destined to be his slave forever.

The scenes rapidly flashed in Calvin's mind as he stared at the Daylight Bride in shock.

What a pitiful woman.

Calvin thought to himself.

But his thought only lasted for a moment before the woman let out a shrill scream.

She was angered that Calvin had managed to escape her control.

Her hands reached down the hem of her dress as threads of blood manifested throughout the entire room.

"Polearm!"

Calvin was quick to react and his golden quill expanded. Its indestructibility attribute was now showing its purpose as it shredded the threads around Calvin into two halves. The door was sealed and if he ran, he might meet the monsters that were still angry at him outside. This was why Calvin had no other choice but to fight.

"Mortician!" Calvin called out in his heart as the Mortician appeared.

He took a step backward and let the Mortician handle the woman as a fierce battle occurred between the two of them.

The red threads penetrated the Mortician's flesh, but it did nothing to stop the dance of his scalpel. It seemed that both the Daylight Bride and the Mortician were equally powerful.

"Damn it." Calvin inwardly cursed. He circled the outskirts of the battle in order to find an opportunity to suppress the Daylight Bride under the Authority of his Emperor's Commandment. When the Mortician had just unraveled the threads that wrapped around his body, the Daylight Bride was astounded as she took a step backward.

"Now!" Calvin took her retreat as the signal to attack.

Pointing his middle and index finger to the Daylight Bride. The Emperor's Commandment enabled Calvin to deal with Mid-Tier monsters rather effortlessly, but the Daylight Bride was at the peak of the High-Tier.

Furthermore, she had a physical body on the mortal plane, unlike Valefor whose soul was fragmented.

The two couldn't be compared at all.

But that didn't mean that Calvin's Emperor Commandment had no Authority over the Daylight Bride.

"Stand down!" Calvin called out and an indescribable power washed over the Daylight Bride's figure as her body momentarily stiffened.

The Mortician's scalpel coldly gleamed as his attack streaked through the air and instantly cut off the Daylight Bride's four limbs.

When he was about to pierce through her skull and shatter her brainstem, Calvin yelled out, "Stop!"

The Mortician's scalpel halted abruptly.

He turned to look coldly at Calvin as if he was asking, 'What's the matter with you?'

Calvin merely chuckled as she stepped forward and carried the powerless torso of the Daylight Bride onto a nearby chair.

She made her lean on the chair, so she wouldn't fall onto the ground before he asked, "Do you know who you are?"

The Daylight Bride's resentment was thick in her eyes.

She didn't want to do anything at this moment other than to kill Calvin and consume his flesh for her sustenance.

The Mortician saw her disrespect and he uttered in a hoarse voice, "Gluteus maximus."

"What?" Calvin and the Daylight Bride turned to the Mortician in shock, "Wait, you can speak?"

The Mortician simply stared at Calvin as if he was a dumbass, "Biceps femoris."

"Oh, you can? That's a pleasant surprise. Wait, why are you speaking in anatomy?"

Calvin furrowed his eyebrows before he proceeded to ignore the Mortician.

"Do you know who you are?"

The Daylight Bride refused to speak.

Calvin let out a sigh and glanced at the Mortician.

Both monsters were incredibly rare. But the Daylight Bride had more potential than the Mortician. However, Calvin was unsure if he could bring the Daylight Bride into his control. If not, then he might as well just kill her and feed her to the Mortician, so he can save himself from the trouble.

But it would be a waste if she died.

"Damn, what should I do now..." Calvin thought to himself.

It was at this moment that the Bloodstone hanging over his neck vibrated.

"Stephanie?" Calvin mumbled as he picked the Bloodstone up with his hand and stared at it for a while.

It kept on vibrating as if it was trying to say something.

"Wait, the Bloodstone?"

"Oh, shit the Bloodstone!" Calvin exclaimed in joy. 

As far as he could remember, the Bloodstone had the ability to house two Specters at the same time. Since the Mortician was always hiding in his shadows, it had another spot for the Daylight Bride!

Calvin smacked his own forehead. As he scolded himself, "How did I forget about the bloodstone?" 

Staring at the Daylight Bride, he said with a smile, "I'll be bringing you now into a place that you'll be sharing with your fellow sister! Be nice to her, all right?" Without even consulting the Daylight Bride, he activated the Bloodstone's hidden ability and sucked her into the independent space inside it.
